Description

Istio is a game-changer in managing connectivity and operational efficiency of microservices, but implementing and using it in applications can be challenging. This book will help you overcome these challenges and gain insights into Istio's features and functionality layer by layer with the help of easy-to-follow examples. It will let you focus on implementing and deploying Istio on the cloud and in production environments instead of dealing with the complexity of demo apps. You'll learn the installation, architecture, and components of Istio Service Mesh, perform multi-cluster installation, and integrate legacy workloads deployed on virtual machines. As you advance, you'll understand how to secure microservices from threats, perform multi-cluster deployments on Kubernetes, use load balancing, monitor application traffic, implement service discovery and management, and much more. You’ll also explore other Service Mesh technologies such as Linkerd, Consul, Kuma, and Gloo Mesh. In addition to observing and operating Istio using Kiali, Prometheus, Grafana and Jaeger, you'll perform zero-trust security and reliable communication between distributed applications. After reading this book, you'll be equipped with the practical knowledge and skills needed to use and operate Istio effectively.

Who is this book for?

The book is for DevOps engineers, SREs, cloud and software developers, sysadmins, and architects who have been using microservices in Kubernetes-based environments. It addresses challenges in application networking during microservice communications. Working experience on Kubernetes, along with knowledge of DevOps, application networking, security, and programming languages like Golang, will assist with understanding the concepts covered.

I've read two books on Istio and have been using Service Mesh the last two years. This book really conceptualize the inception of architecture along with building blocks of istio with helpful resources and demos included. I was able to review this pre-release and was ecstatic to finish this book. Highly recommend.
